Gladiator – Defence Operational Training Capability (Air) Innovation Workshop

PHYSICAL EVENT ONLY TO BE HELD AT THE DEFENCE ACADEMY SHRIVENHAM, FARINGTON ROAD, SHRIVENHAM SN6 8LA.  PLACES ARE LIMITED TO 25.

The DOTC capability, known as Gladiator, was announced by the Minister for Defence Procurement in May 2019. Since then, work has ramped up on this innovative programme and the military are looking at how it could meet the synthetic training needs of various platforms.

Through incremental acquisition, Gladiator will evolve allowing the UK to undertake synthetic training for air, land and maritime forces, all on a secure network and safe in the knowledge that the training cannot be observed by adversaries.

Team Defence Information and the Air Command DOTC(A) Programme Team are pleased to launch a new working group to explore how an innovative approach can be taken to better exploit the opportunity better use of data offers synthetic training in the air domain.

As more and more training moves into the synthetic domain it becomes paramount that data exploitation is maximised and enabled through efficient process, policy and procedures. During this initial one-day workshop participants will be asked to share their knowledge and experience to identify areas of further exploration.
